studs are great for wading, but when you are rock
hopping, they are like rollerskates. I took them off my Chotas after
nearly killing myself in some nasty falls. I fall quite well with just
plain old felt, tyvm.

what I like about the Chotas is the easy option of removing or replacing the
studs. As you may imagine, my studs stay installed for my Central PA
streams.
